Making an airbox?? I am going ITB, and i have 2x 4" cold air feeds from the air box to the TB or will be new air box. The chokes are 8x 55mm, what size hole should i be looking at to make sure there are no restrictions? will make no more than around 550rwhp, there must be a calculation to work out airflow=horsepower??? At present it breathes through a NW 90mm TB as below. It now has a FAST but its the same principle. http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...na/engine2.jpg |
I can tell you one thing about the Harrop 55, it is a huge choke point. I have it on my motor and we did not make anywhere near the power I expected. We did do some flow bench work and found some big restrictions in it. When mated to a TEA 245 shaped port it only flowed 270ish CFM. We ported it, port matched it and added some custom throttle shafts I designed and we picked up over 48cfm. The port matching picked up 22cfm, the porting added about another 14cfm and the throttle shafts added another 12cfm. When I bought my intake used it came with a set of plenums that would not work for my car, but a spent a few weeks learning about fiberglass and modified them to fit my car. I use a 4" inlet like you want. Hope the pics give you some ideas. Here is a link to a bunch of pics of the work I did this winter and the plenums. http://cid-6fae0ec71cef8d21.skydrive...%20and%20Heads http://cid-6fae0ec71cef8d21.skydrive...aspx/Enginebay I should have the motor up and running again shortly to see if we made any significant gains. Good luck! BTW I love the TVR's, such a cool car. |
